Kano state Government  has officiated a mass wedding ceremony for 1800 couples, funded by the state government. Most of the beneficiaries are primarily widows and divorcees.
Additionally, the state government paid almost N50,000 in dowry on behalf of each groom to their bride.
As part of the mass wedding plan, the couples were also given a bed, bedding, food, and clothes, with the couple required to repay the gifts to the state government in case of divorce.
Let’s do the math.
50,000 X 1,800 = 90,000,000.
10M can boost educational sector.
10M can employ contract teacher.
10M can buy fertilizer for farmers
10M can buy equipment for a local health center.
